SECRETARY WurTNEY's ideas Of civil
service reform correspond with the
business idea on that subject-that not
only shall the employer have the un.
obstructed privilege of selecting his
employees, but that certain bonds of
sympathy between them are essential
TO the highest promotion of their
mutual interests. The merchant selects
clerks, statesmen and agents In whom
he has confidence that they will give to
his business their undivided attention,
and of whom he knows that they have
no connection with rival concern.
Why should not the administration of
government be conducted on about
The same plan? Mr.. Whitney, judging
by his recent letter, printed elsewhere,
evidently thinks 1t should.

tation that the prosperity of that city is
founded on Northern capital or In any
sense Northern creation. Says the
Constitution:
Atlanta was built by southern energy and
Southern money and Southern brains and

to be proud Of We have In twenty one years,
starting from such desolntion as can barely
lie conceived, accumulated s35oO0OO0 worth
of realty mot counting the suburbs, built 81
churches, furnished free schools for 5000
children, spent millions of dollars In streets
and gathered Oj,O00 inhabitants.
All which, we guess or reckon as the
case may be. is as true q statement as
II is creditable. The Constitution might
have added that II has furnished some
tip.top reconstruction oratory also, and
a possible candidate for the Vice.

ling report concerning the dangers from
fire in the Reform School building.
The possibilities of catastrophe are
even greater in this builliug than in the
Printing Office, especially us the insti-
tuition is out of reach of the Fire De-
pai tment. 1t adds 10 the seriousness
of the situation that nothing can be
done for months yet by way Of rem.

brought upon Congress that 1t shall

QUEEN Victoria is to day the cen
tral figure of pageant such as perhaps
no monarch in modern history has been
accorded, considering the magnitude of
the show and the universal interest
which It awakens all over the civilized
earth. Her Majesty's reign covers
half q century. Whatever its faults
may be, it has at least been reputable,
which is more than can be said of the
reigns of any of her predecessors as far
back as William the Conqueror The
rulers of Great Britain had been a
bad lot from the start, and 1t was not
until the daughter of the Duke of Kent
ascended the throne In 1887 that turn
was called on the loose morals
that had so long characterized
the royal palace of Great Britain. For
this reason, If for no other, the Queen
deserves TO be jubilated,
THE sun entered the summer solstice,
or touched the point In the ecllplic
furthest north from the equator, about
/ o'clock this afternoon, and summer
which, judging by the heat, com
menced some days ago, has really
but just begun. 1t will last
ninety.four days. A new moon
was also born to-day, at 5;45 a. M,
which, according TO some weather
prophets, forobodcs storm, and ac,
cording TO others, fair weather. 1t may
be of further interest to know that the
sun rose this morning at 4:35 and will
set at 7:2S this evening, According to
the best authorities, this is the longes!
day in the year.

THERE'S great demand throughou,

THERE'S great demand throughout
the country this year for "oldfash
Toned Fourth Of July celebrations. /"
THE CRITIC hardly feels like falling
Into the procession. An old fashioned
Fourth means a great deal of racket
and bell ringing, and cannon firing and
lemonade, and sweat and brass music
and rum, commingled with spread
eagle oratory and the reading of the
Declaration of independence in hot
sun. If it were possible TO catch the
old-fashioned spirit once more that
looked upon all these doings in the
light of great religious duty, 1t were
we'll enough; or If celebrations of the
old fashioned sort were needed to keep
the patriotism of the people at proper
temperature, nothing could be more
desirable. Still, this Is free country
and the Fourth Is holiday, and every
citizen is at liberty to celebrate in his
own way.

THE decision of the Court In General
Term yesterday in the case of Police
man Rhodes adds another verlllcation
TO the general belief that "the lot of a
policeman is not happy one" Rhodes
was sued for false arrest-arresting o
colored girl on charge of larceny pre-
ferred by other parties. The Court
held that the arrest was illegal without
q warrant, the ofIense being misde-
meanor, andee eave damages against the
officer and two other parties in the sum
of $500. This seems rather hard on the
officer, when his only guidance In such
a case is his manual, which If followed
would get every policeman in the same
difficulty that Rhodes finds himself,
Section 1877 of the Police Manual is as
follows:
When any person charges another with the
commission Ol u crime, aud Insists that the
person charged shall he taken into custody, the
policeman shall require the accuser, II un
known to him, TO accompany him rs wltnes;
TO the Police Court or Police Station, as the
case may be. lie shall tleu, with AS little de
lay as possible. return tO his post, and inspect

 n Secretary FairChild has also gone to his old home in New York state for Q short vacation, the first of any consequence, that he has taken in two years. The secretary evidently thinks he may stay in this city quite awhile, as he has lately bought d fine residence in fashionable neighkor- hood, paying for it the snug sum of 60, : 0O0. On the other hand, to show that ev- en members of the cabinet are not exempt from the prevailing speculative craze, it is only necessary to mention that Score tary Whitney, the capitalist of the cabinet, has given new proof of his right to that distinction by selling his famous and bean. tiful country seat, Grassland, ' at a profit of 475, 600, after an ownership of only two year, ,retaining the privilege of leasing the property three years. .a"

The majority of people probably do not realize how much and in how many ways the eyes of work-horses are injured by the use of binders. Scarcely a day passes that Mir. Thrall, agent of the Connecticut Humane Society, does not ask some one to have a loose binder removed or mend. ed in order to save the eye of suffering horse. It is sad to notice how many cart and draught horses have defective eyes. In hot weather the heated leather worn close to the head during many hours is a serious evil, not to mention the pain and disease which would result to the eye of any animal from having its vision continu. ally impeded by near object. In con nection with this subject the following in- cident was related to us by Mir. Thrall. Seeing horse passing along on a swelter- ing day with a loose binder knocking agaInst his eye at every step, Mir. Thrall said to the driver:
 "Pat, suppose it was pretty hot day, and you didn't feel very comfortable any way, and there was a big piece of hard leather Tapping into your eye--r
 ''Be gorrah ye're right Don't ye say another word your honor-I'll fix 'em. ."
 Early the next morning came knock at the door of the Humane Society office, and when Mir. Thrall looked mp there stood the man beaming with satisfaction. ..N
 "The top Q the mornin' to yel An will ye stip out and take sight at him, if ye please 2" =. ..,fs.f
 Mir. Thrall went outside, and there was the horse, also satisfied, for he had had an extra feed and rub down, and his binders had been cut of.
 MT. Thrall says that he frequently meets with this readiness of comprehension and willingness to act humanely as soon as the slightest intimation of unkindness is given, which proves that great many really we'll meaning persons are cruel through thought lessness, and as soon as their attention is called to their mistakes they are tbankful to remedy them. We hope there will soon be fresh confirmation of this undoubted fact in the large number of "emancipated horses" which will be seen on our streets rejoicing in their freedom from uuneces. sary restraint. Already many horses are driven without checks, many moro with out binders but the number of those that are relieved in both directions is still comparatively small. We wish all persons who have adopted this humane method of driving, and all who may do so now that the subject has been brought to their con. sideration, to know that there is a tide of sympathy and approval flowing toward them from every direction-a tide of hu- mane feeling, of love for those lower or- ders of intelligence which it is the duty of man. supreme in power and will, 10 pro. tach

 This week small scandal came to the surface in the patent office. Eugene Kel- ly, chief of the assignment division, had been habitually taking advantage of his position to borrow sums of money from the clerks u nder him forgetting to refund the same. Being backed by Senator Voorhees,, Mir. Rely was soundly reprimauded for his delinquency instead of dismissed as he should have been, and was ordered "to go and sin no more" But the most accom- plished of swindlers is Oscar J. Harvey, who has reduced forgery to a fine art by studying it as a science. After the exposure of the scheme by which Harvey had stolen about S12 900 from the treasury on bogus claims for officers' horses that had died in the military service, and after his incarce- ration in jail, Harvey's desk was broken open, when such notes as these were found. "Written with left hand, purple ink and index pen" Written with right hand, gold pen and dark blue ink"
 It turns out that the recent statements of the extraordinary and unprecedented amount of work done at the pension office are not ell warranted by facts, that strong and systematic efforts have been to expe- diate certain classes of work to the wrong ful exclusion of other business equally de. serving and that false showing has been in the interest of Gen. Blacks aspiration for the vice presidency or the office of sec- retary of the interior, in case of a prob able vacancy in that position.
